A couple people have asked for something similar, and I've found some tools to help set things up. We could establish groups that rank users according to:
- post count
- length of membership
- number of warnings issued by admin (!)
- number of days since last visit
- maybe some other customizable quantities - number of purple characters comes to mind...
We can assign group names, colors and icons so your name shows up in a special color (admin is supposed to be red, moderators are green, etc...) You could be members of multiple groups, like "Here since Day 1", "Haven't Been to CADForum in 2 Weeks", and "Dostoevsky Readers"
Is this something anyone would find interesting/fun?

It sounds interesting if you don't mind the extra work.

Sound like an interesting idea 
Far too many items in the world are designed, constructed and foisted upon us with no understanding-or even care-for how we will use them.
